Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) released a statement Friday slamming recent efforts to discredit the integrity of U.S. intelligence agencies. "The latest attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests — no party, no president's, only [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's," McCain wrote.
McCain's statement came as Washington was consumed by the release of a controversial memo authored by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.). The memo alleges improper FBI surveillance of President Trump's campaign in 2016. Its release was opposed by the FBI and the Justice Department, but the White House approved its publication earlier Friday.
"I fear [Russia] succeeded in fueling political discord and dividing us from one another," McCain wrote, referencing the ongoing investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. "The American people deserve to know all of the facts surrounding Russia's ongoing efforts to subvert our democracy, which is why [the FBI's Russia] investigation must proceed unimpeded." He continued: "If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin's job for him."
Trump reportedly believes the Nunes memo could help discredit the investigations into Russian meddling and any potential collusion by his team. Read McCain's full statement below. Kelly O'Meara Morales

Lindsey and John are awfully fond of each other.
>>Got to hand it to the Senator from AZ. For a man who is about to lose everything, he’s still throwing food like a young man.

Makes ya wonder if the whole “6 months ~ terminal” thing was also a ruse.
The day McCain says “hi” to Ted Kennedy, the planet will become a bit less toxic.
Actually, I think is IS pretending to be still alive.
Show yourself, McCain!
One other thing is crystal clear from the memo. The FBI, and DOJ, at the top levels, was willing to lie to and mislead the FISA court in order to spy on Trump and his associates for political purposes. That's criminal conduct by the FBI and the DOJ, for political purposes.
Trump and the rest of the patriotic Republican elected officials, really do need to drain the swamp in Washington, DC.
eat faster tumor !
these fargin bastiges are REALLY starting to piss me off...
Are we certain that it was actually McWhatever?
Sicko
He’s just mad because he got played like a fiddle. LOL
McLame and his associate David Kramer were dupes of Steele in this dossier business. Kramer is all but certainly the person who leaked the dossier to Buzzfeed.
Would you know how many of the lower 5 are also in congress?
